CHEM 6650

Advanced Organic Chemistry

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2018-2019 Catalog.

The course focuses on stereoelectronic properties of organic compounds, reaction thermodynamics and kinetics, stereochemistry, and catalysis. Case studies constituted examples where the applications of these concepts and corresponding techniques lead to creative design of selective organic synthesis and mechanistic insights into complex organic transformations. A particular emphasis is on the development of chemical and mechanistic intuition that will facilitate the students' laboratory research efforts.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: CHEM 3580 or CHEM 3600, and CHEM 3900 or equivalents, or permission of instructor.

When Offered Fall.

Comments Primarily for graduate students, juniors, and seniors.
